Am Leaving Now

The clocks are stuck on eight,
the lights below in the streets
are here again; watch them fireflies fly.
The curtains are drawn,
a bait . Your secret life captured on film.
And the lady smiles at your defeat.
Too late now to hide in lies.

The train departs in time again.
Trolleys and the baggage they carry.
People leave each other behind.
Departure is done, no real pain.
We are lost there after everyone has gone.
I am lost there, after you have gone
You circle the length of my mind as i move on.

Highways and interstates, trash trailer parks,
ocean views, sky blue, goodbye songs.
White lakes, broken hills and bare trees.
Deserts deep, bush under the stars.
Back lanes, fortune cookies,
my skin kissing the breeze.
All these, i am leaving now.

Chill poem.
How does the rest of this line go?

a bait .

It looks like it was cut off in the middle.

There were a few grammar mistakes, but a lot of them actually add to the poem, like:

watch them fireflies fly.

It serves to add to the reminiscence of childlike wonder.

There were a few, however, that I wasn't sure whether or not they were intentional, like:

A lady smiles in your defeat.

--> maybe should be "at your defeat"?

and

All these, i am leaving now.

I'm not sure whether or not the "i" was meant to be capitalized or not, but I think it was.

My other criticism is that the length of the stanzas is haphazard. It makes it look a little disorganized. Anyway, I really like the statement "I am leaving now" at the end. It brings this air of closure that is very satisfying. In general, I really liked the poem and would like to read more from you in the future. Thanks for sharing!
